Developers using MiniMax Code now have a lighter, quicker model option. It comes with five reasoning levels and no public price, benchmarks, or API yet.

On September 27, MiniMax added M3.1-Flash-Preview to its coding tool. It targets daily work, from quick bug fixes to full features. Users choose a reasoning level from low to max.

Details are thin. There is no model card, no price, and no public API. A free stealth model, Space Bunny Alpha, is reportedly an early build, but MiniMax has not confirmed that.
Key Capabilities:

• Reasoning dial: Five effort levels, low to max, let developers trade speed for depth.
• Bonus credits: MiniMax Code users get double daily check-in credits from September 28 to October 7.
• Limited access: Available only inside MiniMax Code for now, so no API calls yet.
